Without giving away anything of this trilogy, I will say it's one of the first 1,970 page trilogies that I've ever read in two weeks. I first read all three books in October 2010, and have since re-read the entire set five more times in 2011. Reading Brent Weeks Night Angel Trilogy is captivating from the first chapter. They are non-stop books with well developed and interesting characters. Each time I re-read them, they are as good as the first time.. This series proves that writing can be an artform.
If you don't read this set of books, you'll never know what you missed.
This is such a well written book! It takes a number of studies on predators,illuminates everything about them from their locations to their place in history,as well as the scientist and how he/she got interested in that area of science.. Each described study about predators, is extremely well written and interesting. Then as the author builds these stories into a wall of information, the reader gets a picture of the whole, and why these predators are irreplaceable.
This is such a great work! it seems like My Name is Red by Orhan Pamuk which let many narrator take a part in the story. It makes the story becomes more enjoyable because it's like arranging a puzzle. We can see an issue from different point of view.
For example the issue of "civilization", which is presented from both, the white and the colored people.
The title itself, have many meanings. Besides it means that the story takes a place in a desert it also means that there are many issues of 'desertion'. for example when Azad leaves Rehana and never come back again, Rehana and Hassanali's father who leaves India, Pearce who leaves England, and the most significant thing is that the narrator always leaves the previous narrator and never mention them anymore.
I am so glad to have found this book at such a low price. I've looked on many other sites that charge double or more the price that I found at Powell's. I've wanted this book for quite awhile and now look forward to receiving it. Very easy to do business with Powell's online as the check-in/checkout process is a breeze. Thank you!
